Yea, great. I have to pull the HB and crank pulley to fix this don't I? The thing ran for a week ok now it's spinning. I don't get it. Must have been bolt pressure only? Maybe there's not a key in it?
Can I run an electric pump this summer and fix over winter? Whats the gamble?
Probably not good to let it spin freely. It will eventually eat itself up. -bob

Don`t even run that thing. The bolt is loose and if the timing gear falls off it can trash anything, including the block. That happened on a hemi ram and mopar had to give him a warranty engine.

Has to be a key or the timing gear would also be spinning. The key extends through the gear and hooks the accentric. Then the conical washer and bolt.
Clean it, if it's Dirty. Oil it, if it Squeaks.
But: Don't fix it, if it Works!

Could be. Have to see once I get the cover off.
Anyone have a good way to remove the balancer bolt without a tool to lock the rotation? Kind of stuck. Going to try to lock with studs in the balancer pull holes.
Is a tool required? Been a long time since I tore this down.

Use an impact on the crank bolt - It will spin it right out. I have at times also taken the pulley off and put a couple of the bolts back in most of the wan but enough sticking out to wedge a large screw driver between to hold the crank from turning while I break the crank bolt loose. One broke loose it is easy. Use a alcheapo steering wheel puller on the damper to pull. Make sure to take the large washer off the crank bolt and then put the bolt most of the way back into the shaft and use it as and anvil to rest the tip of the puller on, Some of the pullers tip will slide into the crank hole and booger the threads up. The damper hole will fit right over the bolt head without the washer on it.
I dont' have an impact... but the store is not that far away. I bent bolts in the puller holes trying that as support. Just to verify, standard thread or leftie?

Well here's what I found. Bolt must have come loose and they key got stripped off then.
Looks like he has a flat washer, then conical washer on this. Should there be a locker or just the conical without the other flat washer? Should you loctite the bolt?
Thanks.
